This simple embroidery is done with silver and copper decorative thread. Stitch used is filling stitch. Can also be done in machine easily, or ordered to be done from professional artists. Decorate with tilak shaped stone glued or can stitch them, there will be holes for it on the stone. Follow design pattern same as for painting on sarees.
I tried to put this kolam at the back of a tile which has small square design in it, to get the effect of embroidery. Took almost 3 hours to complete.
Dot count...19, 17(5 lines),15,13,11, and 1. Repeat on other side. Straight dots.
